5 Reasons Why Volunteering Isn’t For Everyone

This post is something I’ve picked up along the way whilst
volunteering at a furniture help scheme, some of it's just common sense.

A lot of the time people don’t want to do
something for nothing; voluntary or rather unpaid labour is something that isn’t
for everyone.

You have to be genuinely interested in the cause
you are volunteering for. Whether it’s volunteering for a charity or running a
club you have to understand and sympathise with what you are doing.

Not everyone you are helping understands that it’s
unpaid work so therefore you don’t have to be there. I say this because a lot
of complaints or extra requests can be made and sometimes the customer or the
general public don’t take into account that workers sometimes aren’t paid.

You have to have a certain way about you, if you
aren’t a particularly caring or active person then voluntary work can be a
chore. It’s a key factor in choosing whether or not you want to volunteer, if
you don’t enjoy yourself then it’s not for you.

Volunteering shouldn’t come before family or
work engagements, normal everyday tasks still need to be done. A lot of people
don’t have the time to volunteer on a routine or scheduled basis, sometimes
voluntary work can be very time consuming and can become like a full-time job
without the pay.

Than concludes this list post, are there any other list posts you would like to see?
